Standing in the Time Episode 30
The power of love is so strong
that such a cold person
is even influenced.
Who is this girl?
Her name is Li Xiao.
That plan three, Li Xiao...
Were you interested in
Plan 3 in the beginning?
Were you also interested in
Zhou Zimo in the beginning?
Offer a price.
Yielding Zhou Zimo to me?
Impossible.
I'll put the flowers upstairs first.
OK.
Zimo...Zimo...
What's wrong? What's wrong?
Oldest Nephew...
Sugar water...get the sugar water.
Alright...got it.
Zimo, Zimo!
Zimo, you're awake.
Are you feeling better?
I must have passed out for a while.
Right.
I told you before and you didn't listen.
You've been practicing too hard.
And you're not eating much.
Because I was worried.
What were you worrying about?
Pressure from many different things.
I was troubled.
Not you don't have to be troubled anymore.
Now you can focus.
Liang Ni has given you so much acknowledgment.
And that was not just any acknowledgment.
Xia Fan told me everything.
She said the way she stared at you,
was like she wanted to eat you.
And she was so serious about it
that she spent half a day to pick an eyeshadow
and still hasn't figured out which one to use.
It is obvious that she likes you a lot.
I dreamed about
her scolding me.
Dreams are usually the opposite of reality.
Zhou Zimo.
I really am extremely proud of you.
You started from
a person who knows nothing,
nor liked this industry.
And within a few months,
you've gained Liang Ni's approval.
So now you can see.
What I said was right.
You were born to be a model.
Careful.
Xiao.
What happened this time.
Has further proven what I said.
You have to work hard
and reach success.
To earn other people's respect.
You know the people there,
how they were treating me?
So you can rest assured
that I'll work even harder.
I know.
You'll work even harder.
But you have to promise me as well,
that you'll nurse your body back to health.
Don't make me worry about you anymore.
Here.
Try the congee that
I spent a few hours making for you.
What's wrong?
Is it too hot?
Are you okay?
I've let it cool down for a while.
Is it really that hot?
But...
Zhou Zimo.
You tricked me.
You go ahead and feed yourself now.
Feed me.
No.
Is it good?
Xiao,
are you sure that you want to sleep here?
Of course. Where else am I supposed to sleep?
Just have him sleep with me.
The way you snore,
do you think he can really fall asleep around you?
He should be resting,
you know?
That's not enough...
You can catch a cold
sleeping in the shop.
Well, I can just get a heating pad.
What are you doing?
What is going on?
I need to go to the bathroom.
The bathroom on the second floor.
Go to the bathroom if you need to go,
Go back to sleep if you were sleeping.
Good night.
Back to sleep.
Good night.
This one over here.
I need to talk to you about this,
I think there's some issues over here.
This right here.
You can change it slightly,
or other people won't understand it.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Director.
Can you even read without your glasses?
Director.
Are you wearing cologne?
Really?
Judging the scent.
It's kind of like a cologne.
but it smells like
there is a lot more alcohol content in it.
I'm guessing you are wearing...
florida water!
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
What florida water?
I'm wearing a cologne.
A real cologne.
Director.
You dressed up today,
and your hair
doesn't look like it was done in the salon.
But you must have worked on it
in front of the mirror for quite some time.
This is the best you've looked since
I entered the Proofreading Section.
Who are you seeing later?
Besides you guys
who else am I seeing?
He's lying.
Well...Li Xiao...
Based on your professional
beauty standard.
Do I look weird?
Director,
you have to tell me
what you are doing
so I can judge if you look off or not.
Alright...quit messing around.
Get back to work.
Get back to work, you.
Uh...
Shi Lei.
Come to my office briefly.
You can talk to me here.
Come here.
Come to my office briefly.
You can talk to me here.
I...
I want to ask you something.
Which is about making soup, you know.
That wax gourd riblet soup.
Should I julienne it?
Or should I fine julienne it?
And the wine.
When should I add it?
Director Lu,
is that what you wanted to ask me?
This is during office hours.
If you want to have soup,
I can bring you some later,
but please don't interrupt my work
during this time.
Ms. Shi,
I want soup too.
What is going on now?!
Director,
I want wax gourd riblet soup.
Stop, stop, stop.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Get back to work.
What are you all doing?!
Director.
Pay attention to your walking posture.
Director...
Wax gourd riblet soup.
When are you bringing us
Wax gourd riblet soup?
What is going on, Director?
Liang Ni sure is something.
To be honest,
I have to say that I admire
the way she handles
styling and photography.
Thank you for your work this time.
I can really see
everyone's hard work.
I never would have thought that
you'd have enough courage
to pursue her.
This is a part of my job.
And, I've got to say,
Zhou Zimo surprised me
during this photo shoot.
He sure has improved a lot.
I heard he's on sick leave.
He might be exhausted
and finally couldn't handle it.
You should take some time to see him.
We need to be more caring this time.
Understood.
Amanda.
There's something...
I would like to talk to you alone.
That's okay, you can talk to me here.
I would like to resign.
Resign...why?
I've been going through some family issues lately,
and my health
is not doing too good.
I would like to take a short break.
So, that's the reason.
I need to head out and get some things done.
I'll talk to you again when I get back.
How is it?
Oldest Nephew's noodles are the best after all.
I'll tell him to
make soup for you at night.
Make soup?
I can do it.
You?
You know how to?
I can try.
No way.
Your body is too weak at the moment.
Just let him make it.
We'll order him around
all day.
What kind of soup do you want to have?
You decide.
Me...
What about pork feet soup?
What else would you like to eat?
I'll eat whatever you decide on.
I'll have him make...
a big feast!
Would you like to
go take a nap?
No...I'm not tired.
I'll go call him then.
Mo...
You should wait for me outside.
I'll go in by myself.
Alright.
Xiao.
Ms. Liang Ni.
How did you
find this place?
I can find you two
whenever I want.
Am I interrupting you two?
No.
We were just surprised,
Ms. Liang Ni.
So what brings you here?
In the future, I'm
going to open my own company
in Shanghai.
I'm going to build my own brand
and become a fashion leader
and icon.
My intention is simple.
I want
you two
to join my company together.
How does it sound? Are you interested?
Actually, after this photo shoot,
I realized you two work really well together.
You two are
A perfect match.
You two sync-up extremely well.
So my condition is,
either,
you two come join me together.
Or,
neither of you join.
I get it.
This is very sudden.
You two can think about it.
When you two make your decision.
You can come find me.
This is a very rare opportunity.
I can understand
the situation you are facing.
It's pretty much like back then,
when I was leaving RESA.
But,
I can tell you,
Li Xiao,
when I left RESA,
it wasn't very glamorous.
But nowadays,
no one remembers
how much hardship I went through.
They only remember
that I
am a famous person in the fashion industry
and my name is Liang Ni.
Alright.
I'll get out of your hair.
I'll see myself out.
Ms. Liang Ni,
would you like to eat something?
Yeah...
That's alright.
I believe
there will be plenty of chances in the future.
How was it?
Prepare two copies of contracts as soon as possible.
Not a problem.
This one right?
Right.
Alright.
Thank you.
Okay.
Lu.
Guiqin.
You must be tired.
I'll go get a pair of slippers for you.
Here, change your shoes.
Where is the pair I used to have?
That one is old. I threw them out.
You threw them out?
I just bought them not too long ago.
I only wore them a few times.
Wear the new ones, the new ones are comfy.
Whose pajamas are those?
Those are...
Those are yours.
You bought pink pajamas.
Yeah...
Did the sales associates say you're a perv?
A man
buying pink pajamas.
Well...
Pink looks good, pink looks good.
Oh yeah.
I made soup.
I'll go
get it out.
Come and have some food.
Hurry.
Come here.
Have a seat.
Hurry, have a seat.
Let me tell you beforehand.
This is my first time making soup.
So I don't know if this is going to be good or not.
Here, try it.
This is a recipe
I got from
my colleagues at the Proofreading Section.
I'll have some too.
Come on, dig in.
It's a bit too salty.
This isn't bad.
I can just have it this way.
Alright then.
Well...today,
I was going to
pick you up at the airport.
But I thought that
you would be really hungry when you got off the plane.
So I came back and made food instead.
Sorry for
not picking you up at the airport.
Lu,
you've worked hard all these years.
What are you talking about?
What hard work have I done?
You're the one who is managing a business.
And taking care of a kid in the States.
I was too busy to help you.
You're really the one who has worked hard.
Lu, this is me coming back,
I have something I need to tell you.
Eat first.
We can talk about it later.
Here have some.
I want to talk about it now.
Alright.
Let's get a divorce.
Coming...
Xia Fan,
what brings you here?
I heard Zhou Zimo got sick.
I'm here to visit him.
He didn't come back.
He went to Li Xiao's.
Sorry...
I should have called before coming.
That's okay. Come on in.
You can see this as you paying me a visit.
Here.
Thank you.
You're still reading after work?
Now that that kid is not here.
It's rare that I can have some quiet time.
To read some articles
and listen to some music
to relax.
Is that all you do
when you're alone?
Right. What else can I do?
My life is simple.
I like to read books, drink,
and play with cameras.
Unlike you fashion people,
having such flashy lives.
Don't talk like
you're a monk.
I've seen you
socializing
with those authors.
That was work-related.
I separate business and pleasure.
I only do effective socialization.
When it comes to my own time
And energy.
I don't give them up easily.
Then I shouldn't stay here too long,
so I don't take away your personal time.
You're different.
You will very likely
become a part of my life.
There is something I need to thank you about.
What?
About Zimo's photoshoot.
Editor Xia.
When we are hanging out,
can we not always talk about him?
Can we talk about some other things
today?
Sure. What do you want to talk about?
I sure won't
ask about your history.
I've gotten in trouble before.
So I learned.
What about myself?
Like I just mentioned,
my life is pretty
simple.
There's nothing we can talk about.
Seems like we really don't have many
things that are worth talking about.
Don't...
Don't jump to any conclusions just yet.
I think
you and I, the two of us,
is the topic that's worth talking about.
What time is your flight?
Early in the morning.
Guiqin.
Can we talk?
Stop packing.
Can we talk?
What is there to talk about?
We've talked about everything
that we need to.
No, what have you really told me?
I have no idea.
If you think that the both of us
living separately in two cities,
has been making you feel like you don't have a family.
Then I can go with you.
You can't give up on your company.
But I can give up
my Proofreading Section.
Lu,
can you really give it up?
There is nothing I can't give up.
If this family is done for.
Why would I still need to work there?
At the Proofreading Section?
If that's the case,
I can put in my resignation tomorrow
and go with you.
If that's not enough for you.
We can both go to the States
to be with our son.
We can be a family again, all three of us.
Or we can take our son
back from the States.
As long as it works for you,
I can do anything to cooperate with you
and satisfy you.
Hey, Guiqin,
what is this about?
Guiqin,
No matter what you've done
to betray me,
as long as you have remorse,
then I can forgive you.
What are you thinking?
Why would I do
anything to betray you?
No?
Then what is it?
We are not young anymore.
Why are you
so serious about everything?
Is the reason
really that important?
Divorcing is no small matter.
It's only right
for me to know the reason, right?
Or...
How am I supposed to tell people?
My wife just
abandoned me?
You can just say that then.
Let me ask you again.
Do you remember
the first
time you talked to me?
I'm stupid, I've forgotten it.
I haven't.
That day,
I walked out of
Dongfan Building's lobby.
Someone tapped me
on the shoulder
all of a sudden.
Then,
a manuscript was
handed right to me.
"Mister, you dropped your document."
I was a bit upset.
I...
Am I really that old?
You can keep imagining this.
Don't pretend that you don't remember.
At that time, you probably
Just entered RESA.
I still remember what kind of clothes
you were wearing back then.
A denim suit.
It was a bit out of fashion.
You must remember it wrong.
I've never worn any denim suits.
You don't have any denim suits?
Seems like you're not pretending.
You really can't recall.
There's no way that I've remembered it wrong,
because that day,
I stared at you for a long time.
There was a part of your body
that was especially attractive to me.
Stop there.
I don't want to hear it.
What are you thinking about?
Pull your mind out of the gutter.
I'm talking about your hands.
I think your hands are the most attractive part of you...
I saw a pair of
slim, clean,
beautiful and womanly hands.
Don't tell me,
you'd fall for a woman
because of her hands.
Why not?
That day,
that moment,
was the time that I started to like you.
I think we should
change the subject.
Okay.
Let's not talk about the beginning.
Let's talk about the process.
I've been very frustrated,
why have I been
having that kind of a feeling
towards you?
I observed you for a very long time.
I also have thought about it for a long time.
Then I finally found the answer.
You, Xia Fan,
are the least fashion editor-like editor
in the fashion editing department.
So,
you're saying that I'm not professional?
Exactly the opposite.
The job didn't change
the way you were in the beginning.
Nonsense.
I'm in the fashion industry.
The way I dress
always changes.
Don't think that I'm so superficial.
Okay?
I'm not talking about
your appearance.
It is what's inside.
Alright then.
Then tell me,
which part of who I am inside attracts you?
Inside...
Well, first I have to say,
you have a great body.
Wu Yu!
I'm joking, I'm joking.
What I really meant was,
on the surface,
you seem very cold and distant.
You don't seem to care about anything.
But you do care.
You have a lot of opinions
about many different things.
But sometimes,
Those opinions can be a bit silly.
So what you're saying is,
silly women are easy to handle, right?
You're putting words into my mouth.
What I really mean is,
your understanding about your profession is a bit silly...
But as my woman,
you're not silly.
That's what I call personality.
Who are you calling "your woman"?
Don't try to take advantage of me now.
Lu,
can you stop putting me in this difficult position?
Guiqin, think about this,
do you remember 22 years ago?
When I proposed to you,
I asked you,
"Will you marry me?"
You said no.
But you were smiling like a little kid.
You were happier than everyone.
You don't know how to lie.
Especially in front of me.
Think about it.
The reasons that you just listed.
You can't even fool a kid.
You really think you can fool me?
Guiqin.
No matter what happened.
We can both face it together.
As long as you still care about me and our son.
As long as you still care about
our home.
Lu,
I don't want to drag you and our child down with me.
My company has gone bankrupt,
I've got nothing now.
I also
have over 10 million yuan of debt.
We should just divorce.
That's okay.
Sorry.
That's alright.
I'm here for you.
I'll think of a way.
I'll think of a way, okay?
I've been thinking about this.
A question.
I've been thinking.
When are you going to
open up?
I'm just here
waiting around for you.
Is it worth it?
But,
everytime I
think about you.
I tell myself very firmly.
If I've been thinking about you for that long.
If I'm still thinking about you.
Then it must be worth it.
Wu Yu.
I wanna ask,
if we ended up
not being together,
would you be upset?
Yes.
No matter what
stopped us from being together.
I would be very upset.
There's no need for me to avoid this.
Then why are you still doing this?
If I don't let myself love someone
just because I'm afraid to be hurt.
Then that person
is not worthy of being loved by anyone.
That's it.
I'm heading home.
Alright, I'll go with you.
Don't mess with me like that.
How are you going to drive after drinking?
I'll walk you to the door.
See you tomorrow.
This is awesome, Xiao!
You're going to be
a part of the fashion industry!
The future Prada Queen!
Your life goal
is about to be fulfilled!
Xiao.
Should we go together?
How?
You still have a contract with RESA.
How are you going to go?
So, are you just going to stay
in the Proofreading Section forever?
